      Well my mini aussie isn't a mini and I feel completely guilty that she went to all that trouble to go and pick up a dog for me, that when she got there she knew the dog wasn't the dog for me.  Still she brought her home with her and I still went to see her.  I was glad that she called and forwarned me that she was awfully small and probably not the dog for me.  Sadly she was right.  I do like the little girl but she is too small for me.  I still feel completely guilty.  
     I was starting my car search, giving myself about $3k to work with off the cash out of my Pension from nestle and Aunt Lisa spotted a nice little blue Ford Escort for $1500.  So dad and I stopped and looked at it.  If it really is as nice as it looked, then that leaves me the extra to 'buy' my puppy.  As much as I would love to have done a rescue I might have to buy a puppy to start with.  
     I've spent the last couple days feeling like crap, not only from the itchy spots of ringworm on my arm but my allergies flared badly over the weekend.  I think it's from the rabbits, or a combo of the rabbits and the cats.  Either way- I'm going to cut them back farther.  I haven't fully figured out how yet.  I am going to keep one dutch buck and a couple of does and I may keep the holland pair, I may not.  If the doe doesn't settle down and I don't get her pedigree I will let her go to a pet home.  I only deal with pedigreed rabbits and while I'd only sell the Hollands as pets anyway.  
     Am I bad if I keep checking my email waiting for Ryan Creek Aussies to get back to me, plus to see if the pedigree comes in for the Holland Lop.  More so the Aussie.  I had gotten so eager for a dog and I know Lisa is so sorry about getting my hopes up.  It wasn't so much getting my hopes up but helping me get a good feel for my deep sought after desire.  Even to this point my rabbits aren't high on my drive.  A dog I can take with me, Heidi can stay at boarding, the rabbits tie me down.  
     While I won't sell out of them I've got a short list of a few that are going to go.  Even with Penelope coming in I can work around quite a bit of it.  Penelope, Raven, Connie, Natalie are guaranteed to stay.  If the Spellmire blue doe throws a gorgeous steel buck I'll keep that in place of his daddy.  That puts my Chins out.  I know I went for the longest time wanting to get them, but right now don't like spending the time with them.  I kinda can't wait to spend it working with my dog and with Heidi.  One less thing to have to deal with really.
